SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
A powerful but simple Rashi method is the CITATION or CROSS-
REFERENCING of an OTHER VERSE for the purpose of adding
FURTHER DETAILS to a verse we are studying. We call this
the OTHER VERSE method. There are three submethods to the
OTHER VERSE method.

If the verse actually CITES or refers to an OTHER VERSE we
call this the SUBMETHOD of CITATION.

If the OTHER VERSE explains the meaning of
some term in the first verse we call this the SUBMETHOD
of MEANING.

If the first verse does not cite an other verse and if
no meaning is explained then we call this the SUBMETHOD
of FURTHER DETAILS since the 2nd verse either confirms
the first verse or typically adds FURTHER DETAILS to
the first verse

EXAMPLE 1: Lv08-09a
-------------------
Verse Lv08-09 states
----------------------------------------------
He placed the TURBAN on his head
and placed...the Tzitz on the TURBAN
----------------------------------------------

Rashi clarifies the relationship between
the TURBAN and TZITZ with OTHER VERSES
which supply FURTHER DETAILS

Both Ex39-30:31 and Ex28-36:37 state
--------------------------------------
The Tzitz is held
by Azure threads;
these Azure threads fold over the Turban
--------------------------------------

EXAMPLE 2:Lv10-14a Lv10-12c
---------------------------
In Lv10-14 Moses tells Aaron
------------------------------------
Consume the WAIVED BREAST in a pure place
------------------------------------

Rashi CROSS REFERENCES the OTHER VERSE, Lv09
particularly Lv09-18:21 which discusses the
consecration offerings---one of which was
a Peace offering. In other words, Rashi
simply explains that the WAIVED BREAST
refers to the WAIVED BREAST of the PEACE
OFFERING of the CONSECRATION OFFERING.

Rashi could justify this by cross referencing
the OTHER VERSE Lv07-28:34 which
describes how the BREASTS of PEACE OFFERINGS
are WAIVED but not offered on the altar but
rather given to the Priest.

Similarly
In Lv10-12 Moses tells Aaron
---------------------------
Consume the MINCHAH remains
---------------------------

Rashi CROSS REFERENCES the OTHER VERSE, Lv09
particularly Lv09-17 which discusses the
consecration offerings---one of which was
a Minchah offering. In other words, Rashi
simply explains that the MINCHAH
refers to the MINCAH OFFERING of
the CONSECRATION OFFERING

COMMENTS

*1 There is a subtlety in this Rashi. Verse Ex23-24 states
------------------------------------------------
- Dont bow to THEIR(the nation's) gods
- Dont worship THEM (the gods)
- Rather demolish THEM (who?The nations?or their gods?)
- break THEIR (the nation's) monument altars
------------------------------------------------
Rashi's point is indicated in the parenthetical comments
The DEMOLISH command refers to DEMOLISH the IDOLS
not DEMOLISH the NATIONS!

*2 Actually Ex24-01:02 states
----------------------------------------
the rest of you bow from afar
and Moses alone will go up without the nation
----------------------------------------

This almost totally parallels Ex20-18 which states
----------------------------------------
The nation stood afar and Moses approached
the dark cloud where God was
----------------------------------------

*3 Rashi ALSO mentions the ORDINANCES of Shabbath, Noachides
and Honoring ones parents. The MAIN driving force
behind Rashi in interpreting Ex24-03 is the OTHER
VERSE method. The OTHER VERSE method could also refer to
Ex16-28:29 which mentions the Sabbath. I simply chose the
MAIN OTHER VERSE Ex15-25 that also mentions ORDINANCES.

*4 (Rashi)HUNT and AMBUSH are simply two good examples of
PREMEDITATION. The Torah distinguishes the treatment
of a PREMEDITATED murder from a NEGLIGENT murder.

*5 Sifsay Chachamim cracks a joke on Ex29-29
--------------------------------------------
to ANNOINT (by oil) IN THEM (= the clothes)
--------------------------------------------
Lv21-10 makes it clear that the OIL is poured on the
PRIESTS HEAD. But, the WEARING of HIGH PRIEST CLOTHES is
also a requirement for the HIGH PRIEST induction.

Rashi further explains
-----------------------------------------------
Annointing is RELATED to SOCIETAL APPOINTMENT
and hence ANNOINT IN THE CLOTHES could easily
be a pun--POUR OIL ON HEAD and GET APPOINTED
by wearing the High Priest clothes
-----------------------------------------------

*6 Lv07 states that the owners of Peace offerings
eat the peace offerings. However Lv07-34 states
that THE PRIEST RECEIVES THE WAIVED BREAST and
THE RAISED SHOULDER.

This illuminates the phrase in Ex29-28
------------------------------------------
It is a statute FOR the priests FROM the Jews
-------------------------------------------
That is, although the Jewish owners eat their
sacrifice nevertheless part of it goes to the
priests.

Ex29-28 mentions that the GIFT IS A RAISING
But Lv07-34 states that BOTH
- the WAIVED BREAST
- the RAISED SHOULDER
are priestly gifts.
Hence the RAISING in Ex29-28 refers to both
the BREAST/SHOULDER.

*7 Lv05-16 and Lv05-18 have almost identical words
Hence we can use the ALIGNMENT WORD MEANING method
also. However the OTHER VERSE method suffices here.

*8 Both Ex39-30:31 and Ex28-36:37 speak about
-----------------------------------------
The Tzitz is held
by Azure threads;
these Azure threads fold over the Turban
------------------------------------------

LONGER FOOTNOTES
*10 Rashi brings further OTHER VERSES
- Lv07-34 tells us that Priests eat BREASTS of all
Peace offerings
- Lv07-07:11 tells us that Priests eat REMAINS of
all Minchah offerings
Rashi further explains why a law which is known
GENERALLY (Priests consume BREASTS and MINCHAH) has
to be repeated for the CONSECRATION OFFERINGS.
------------------------------------------------
Since the CONSECRATION OFFERINGS were ONE TIME
communal offerings with several differences from
other offerings of the same type therefore
the Bible had to explicitly reiterate that
procedures traditionally done to these offerings
were also done to the CONSECRATION OFFERINGS
despite their unusual nature
------------------------------------------------

*11 Rashi also mentions the MINCHAH offering of
Nachshon (Nu07-13) which was also brought on
the same day as the consecration offerings when
the temple was erected (Nu07-01). The details of
how we know that the CONSECRATION offerings happened
on the same day as the PRINCE OFFERINGS (Nu07)
is discussed on http://www.Rashiyomi.com/lv09-01a.htm

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashi's 10 main goals is to explain Grammar
the same way Hebrew textbooks explain Grammar.
One grammar method that overlaps with word
meaning is the NOUN-VERB-ADJ-TRANSFORMS method.
This method studies how words can change from
OBJECTS (noun) to ACTIVITIES (verbs) to ATTRIBUTES
(adjective).

EXAMPLE 1: To MAKE FORMAL
-------------------------
Rashi uncovered three ways for nouns
to become verbs--
(a) to REMOVE the noun
(e.g. to DUST)

(b) to CREATE the noun
(e.g. to FLOWER)

(c) to USE the noun in the
traditional manner it is used
(e.g. to HAMMER)

The Hebrew word Cheth-Teth-Aleph means
to be SLOPPY, to MISS the mark (as in archers
missing the mark).Hence it refers to sin thru
negligence. The verb form TO SLOPPIIZE would
mean TO REMOVE SLOPPINESS...to MAKE FORMAL.
just as TO DUST means to REMOVE THE DUST.

*10 Abstract State

*11 Nu31-03b

*13 Gn13-12a

*14 Rashi (Gn33-14d Gn33-14e) analyzes the word FOOTPACE
as follows
- FEET describe objects (NOUNS)
- WALKING is the STANDARD ACTIVITY of the FEET(Verb)
- PACE is the SPEED of walking(Adverbial
description of HOW FAST the walk is taking place).

Note: PACE itself is a noun but it functions
adverbially as describing how fast the walk is.

*15 Technically
- The Hebrew root Aleph-Resh-Ceth means PATH
- PATH is an OBJECT (Noun)
- When made into an ATTRIBUTE (Adjective)
- Aleph-Resh-Ceth means PATH-PEOPLE--a CARAVAN

to the verb TO SANCTIFY. Both have a connotation
of a FORMAL atmosphere).

Lv06-02b
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-04


SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 10 main tasks is to explain
GRAMMAR the same way modern Hebrew books
explain GRAMMAR. We call this the Rashi GRAMMAR rule.
Rashi had three broad sub-rules in explaining GRAMMAR

(1) A major component of Hebrew GRAMMAR are the rules
governing conjugations of VERBS, or HEBREW ROOTS.
There are 7 grammatical modes with half a dozen
parameters: tense, person, gender, plurality,
connective words...

(2) Another component of GRAMMAR deals with
PREFIXES-SUFFIXES and other letters, or small words,
that  indicate changes in meanings.This PREFIX-SUFFIX
subrule includes the rules governing the rules of
plural, gender, pronouns etc. We are still making
discoveries of PREFIX-SUFFIX rules today.

(3) Finally a more advanced part of GRAMMAR deals
with the rules of entire SENTENCES. The SENTENCE
rules includes the rules governing sentence order,
apposition, and compound sentences

Today we deal with the following rule
governing PRONOUN EMPHASIS.
- A single letter suffix/prefix pronoun
does not indicate emphasis
- a full-word pronoun does indicate
unspecified emphasis. It should be translated
as ONLY IT.
- This rule especially holds when the pronoun
is redundant (The verse reads fine without it)
In such a case the pronoun connotes unspecified
emphasis.

Example 1: Lv06-02b
-------------------
Lv06-02 states as follows
----------------------------
These are the GUIDELINES of
the UP offering...ONLY IT is
the UP offering that is offered
on the altar fire...
-----------------------------

The Hebrew pronoun IT is unnecessary
(The verse could have said
-----------------------------
These are the guidelines of the
UP OFFERING that is offered on
the altar fire
-----------------------------
)
The pronoun IT creates UNSPECIFIED emphasis.

Some type of INVALID UP offering is excluded
from being placed on the altar (Even if
the priests erroneously began to offer it)

Rashi following the Talmud picks the worst case
Someone committed bestiality with the animal so
it should not have been offered. If the Priests
began to offer it then we arent allow to continue
and place it on the altar.

NOTE: Rashi's explanation is NOT intrinsic to the
verse. Rashi's explanation is based on Talmudic
logic. But the verse does say something...it says
ONLY IT..this connotes an UNSPECIFIED emphasis and
is the simple meaning of the verse.

EXAMPLE 2: Lv07-08a
-------------------
Lv07-08 states
--------------------------
The SKIN of the UP offering
shall belong TO the priest
offering it ONLY TO HIM will it be
---------------------------

Note the unnecesary redundant pronoun(The verse could have said
----------------------------------------
shall belong to the priest offering it
----------------------------------------
The extra pronoun ONLY TO HIM WILL IT BE creates UNSPECIFIED
emphasis. Rashi uses it to exclude impure priests (We know
from Lv22-03:06 that impure priests may not eat from the
offerings...Rashi here teaches that even if most of the
impurity is removed (eg he immersed in water) he still
cannot eat from the offering.)

Here Rashi makes the inference of particular emphasis from
OTHER VERSES.

Lv01-03c Offer it as a 1 year male*1 Even if 2 animals were mixed

-------- --------------------------- -----------------------------
Lv01-09a IT is an UP offering Intent is necessary*2
Lv05-09b IT is a SIN offering Intent is necessary*2
Lv05-12a IT is a SIN offering Intent is necessary*2
-------- --------------------------- -----------------------------
Lv06-02c ONLY IT is an UP offering but not BESTIALITY animals*10
Lv07-08a Give To the PRIEST-ONLY HIM but not ritually impure *3
COMMENTS
*1
Note that the two clauses in Lv01-03 CONTRAST
- the first clause uses the pronoun IT
- the 2nd clause uses the pronoun ONLY it
Thus there is a simultaneous requirement of
emphasis and non-emphasis.

Here is a plausable way to implement these two
requirements
- If the animals of Abe and Bob got mixed up
then we still make the offering even though
we dont know who is the true owner
- If however a kosher offering was mixed with
a non-kosher offering (e.g. the animal had a
blemish) then you can't offer either animal
because ONLY the Kosher offering can be offered

*2
My opinion is that
Rashi used the OTHER VERSE
method to infer the emphasis.
- We have seen in LIST705b
that offerings have to be
slaugthered with proper intent
That is you must slaughter them for
the sake of an offering.
- So the current verses tell us that this
proper intent is a NECESSARY REQUIREMENT:
Without it the offering is invalid. So if
you slaughtered animals for the sake of
food you cant offer them.

*3 Notice the emphasis
----------------------------
Give it TO the priest--[ONLY]TO him
----------------------------

There are several ways to articulate this emphasis
- the noun and pronoun are both there (Redundancy)
TO THE PRIEST--TO HIM
- a whole WORD TO HIM (LO) was used vs. a prefix
LETTER (TO the priest)

In identifying the PARTICULARS of the emphasis (the verse
only indicates emphasis but does not tell us how to
interpret it) we use Lv22-03:06 which states that impure
people may not eat from the offerings (Rashi adds here that
the emphasis applies even if the purity procedure is 90%
done (eg he immersed in water)--still the priest cannot
eat till totally pure

LONGER FOOTNOTES

*10 We see here an interesting blend of Biblical exegesis
and Talmudic Hermeunetics
- Biblically the extra word simply gives EMPHASIS--
ONLY THIS OFFERING//ONLY THE PRIEST
- The PARTICULARS of the emphasis are not given
- We can infer the PARTICULARS of the emphasis
either  from OTHER VERSES or logic.

In this verse the PARTICULARS are as follows
-----------------------------------------------
- ONLY THIS OFFERING can be offered on the altar
-----------------------------------------------
Rashi excludes e.g. animals
with whom bestiality has been performed
since this is a serious blemish which would invalidate
the animal BEFORE the offering procedure started
Therefore if some priests STARTED the offering
procedure with such an animal they may NOT continue.

Again Rashi's example is derived THRU logic and
a consideration of alternative exclusions.Rashis
point is NOT intrinsic to the verse. All the verse
tells us is NON SPECIFIC emphasis--ONLY THIS UP
OFFERING--without telling us which one. This is
an important point in understanding these Rashis.

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi will frequentlly make a comment by making broad
database inquiries. A database inquiry is simply a question
addressed to a large databank---typically a large collection
of verses. Thus DATABASE methods typically span many diverse
verses.

EXAMPLE Lv08-03a
----------------
Today we ask the query
----------------------------------
Where does a verse seem to indicate
that a small space/amount accomodated
a large amount of items or people
----------------------------------

Obviously such a query is so to speak
just for fun.' Rashi lists one of them
A rather more complete list comes from
the Midrash Leviticus Rabbah.

The following are good examples
-------------------------------------------------------
VERSE      SMALL SPACE     HELD LARGE ...
---------- --------------- ----------------------------
Lv08-03    Temple door     nation
Ex09-08:09 Handful of soot Spread over Egypt
Ex18-13    Moses tent      Whole nation asks questions
Nu20-08:10 The rock        Whole nation congregates to Rock
Jr03-17    Jerusalem       Whole world will gather there
------------------------------------------------------

Of course the Midrash is 'just for fun' and many
of these verses have obvious explanations. For example
Ex18-13 doesn't mean that all 600,000 Jews came to Moses
tent every day; rather it means that Jews from all walks
of life barged into the tent at all times.

Similarly Jr03-17 doesn't mean that the whole world
will assemble over Jerusalem at one point of time--
rather it means that Jerusalem will be the focal
point--the metropolis--of the world.
